What is acne?


According to certain studies, acne varies from quite mild to tremendously severe.

It typically forms when the lining of the skin duct as well as the sebaceous glands start to work overtime.

With the onset of acne, the lining of the duct actually shed cells which are then transported away to the shell of the skin by the sebum.

Once the duct is blocked, it is when the sebum and cells start to amass, forming a plug known as comedo.

Once the plug stays below the plane of the skin, whiteheads or “closed comedo” occurs.

If the plug boosts and pops out of the skin duct, it is called “open comedo” or blackhead since the top is dark.

As you may know, this is not absolutely dirt, thus it will not wash away.

There are a lot of factors that contribute to the formation of acne, but in terms of its real cause, no one is actually certain as to what exactly causes acne to develop or why it starts in adolescence.

However, factor like hereditary top the list.

It has long been deemed as the most important factor that plays a large role in the acne’s development.

As what most people believe, if a member of your family had acne, there is a great possibility that you will have acne too.

Although acne is very prevalent among teenagers, acne should not control your life.

There are a lot of ways to fight acne, and one of those is maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
